Sat, 01 Sep 2007 03:41:32 +0000http://blogs.timesunion.com/youthsports/?p=73#comment-34Our company, Goal-Tek Innovations, began when a young boy in Montreal lost his eye after a soccer goal fell on him. There have been 31 deaths now due to falling soccer goals. There are over 90 Emergency room visits per year and most of these injuries are preventable.

We are now fully commited to soccer safety and offer interested players, parents and coaches a free Soccer Safety eBook. We also offer a line of soccer safety products and equipment.

Please go to http://www.goal-tek.com and follow the link. You can read topics chapter by chapter or download the entire book for free.

We’d also like to ask for two favors: 1. Send the link to other parents, players and coaches to improve soccer safety awareness, and 2. Send us feedback and comments so that our next edition of this book will be even better and more complete.

Yours in Sport and Health,

JR Justesen

PARENTS….don’t rely on others to ensure your child’s safety. We always need to check and inspect all equipment our children are around and using. These goals were not anchored down. The goal weighed more than 200 pounds, we believed it killed him instantly and he didn’t see it coming. Take this information and USE it!!!! Our kids are too important to feel like we might be out of line to walk up to a goal and check, let me tell you, you are NEVER out of line when it comes to securing the safety of your children.
